    2020 OPEN AND BESPOKE PROGRAMMES

    CRF Learning delivers a suite of open and bespoke development programmes aimed at enhancing the capability
    of the HR function and the individuals within it.
    Building on Corporate Research Forum’s (CRF) 25 years’ of unparalleled experience in the research, discussion and
    practical application of topics arising from people strategy, development and learning, CRF’s open and bespoke
    programmes engage specific HR communities with interactive sessions to improve their effectiveness in impacting
    organisational performance.

      WHY                            HR EXPERTS
                                    HR has been CRF’s sole focus for 25 years. As leading thinkers in the field, we
      CRF LEARNING?                 bring an unparalleled level of HR knowledge to our programmes ensuring your
                                    learning is relevant, timely and specialised.
                                     BUSINESS FOCUSED
                                    CRF Learning emphasises the need for business-facing HR, focusing not just
                                    on the crucial skills development of HR professionals, but the role they play in
                                    the wider organisational context. We work with organisations to develop the
                                    commercial and strategic mindset of HR professionals as well as supporting the
                                    enhancement of their technical skills.
                                     UNMATCHED HR NETWORK
                                    CRF constitutes a network of 200+ multinational organisations and over 8,000
                                    HR practitioners. We bring together a wide variety of outlooks and approaches
                                    in our research, events and capability development programmes, exposing
                                    participants to outside thinking and a wide range of perspectives.
                                    CO-CREATION
                                    CRF Learning’s approach is not to deliver off-the-shelf solutions nor is it to
                                    create expensive unique programmes. We look to take our existing content and
                                    work with our clients in developing a programme that is tailored to their specific
                                    context.

    CRF Learning seeks not only to develop the individuals within HR, but to support the capability of the people
    function to deliver the organisational strategy. As such, our range of programmes deliver interventions across the
    spectrum of individual to organisational development, covering both the crucial capability development for now
    and the strategic dimension needed for tomorrow’s people challenges.
